Dying Light 2
Best Open World Games 2020
Although the combat was a little clunky at times, Techland’s first Dying Light game was an enjoyable surprise. Leaping across the map, brutally taking out zombies was always going to be fun, but the fluidity of Dying Light’s traversal made it even better than expected.
For the sequel, which will release five years after the first, is promising a huge step forward. The map will be significantly bigger, the zombies have mutated to make them even more dangerous, and choices are now a big part of the story.
In key moments, your decisions can have an impact on not only the story, but on the map and world itself. Different things can become available to you, and certain decisions may keep areas of the map completely hidden and inaccessible.
In the preview we saw at E3 2019, the best thing about Dying Light 2 seems to be how the excitement and intensity of the action have been ramped up significantly, making the story more engaging and the world more terrifying. We’re excited to see exactly how much of a step forward Dying Light 2 is going to be.
